Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Iron (III) nitrate nonahydrate (Ferric nitrate)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-827)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99 percent or higher. Manufactured and verified under Kemaus strict laboratory quality control standards to ensure exceptionally low trace contamination of foreign heavy metals, chlorides, and sulfates. This high-purity profile provides maximum target reliability and precise reactivity for analytical baseline workflows.
Physical Properties: Odorless, pale violet, light grayish, or yellowish-brown hygroscopic crystals. It liquefies readily upon atmospheric moisture exposure.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, yielding a clear yellow to brownish solution; readily soluble in alcohol and acetone. Yields a distinctly acidic aqueous solution.
Key Use: Heavily utilized as a primary compound and stock standard solution for calibrating atomic absorption spectrometers (AAS) and ICP systems. Commonly applied as an analytical reagent for colorimetric determination of phenolic compounds, forming distinct dark purple coordination complexes. Functions as an effective catalyst in organic synthesis, and serves as an industrial mordant or etching agent in metallurgical and textile research.

Safety & Hazards (Critical)

Classification: May intensify fire; oxidizer. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact triggers immediate severe stinging irritation, watering, and localized tissue redness. Skin contact causes localization irritation and dry discomfort due to its acidic salt profile. Inhalation of fine airborne dust particles irritates the upper respiratory tract, inducing coughing or sneezing.
First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical evaluation if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Strong Oxidizer and Highly Deliquescent. It readily liquefies in humid conditions and can accelerate the combustion of surrounding materials. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, strictly dry, and well-ventilated dedicated chemical safety space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep completely isolated from combustible materials, organic solvents, reducing agents, and strong acids.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory chemical gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Ensure the container cap is secured tightly immediately after each use to preserve the dry integrity of the crystals.
